"If anybody would make me the greatest king that ever lived, with palaces and gardens, and fine dinners, and wine and coaches, and beautiful clothes, and hundreds of servants, on condition that I would not read books, I would not be a king-I would rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty of books than a king who did not love reading."
--Macaulay, Signs of the Times, April 17, 1907.
